Hello, I was wondering why my PC locks up during the Crysis benchmark. I increased my voltage by 60mv on my Twin Frozr geforce 560. The core defaults at 880mhz and I bumped it to 950mhz with the voltage bump.
I ran 950mhz at the default voltage for 30 minutes in the Crysis benchmark and the temperature topped out at 62, which is pretty cool. That's why I thought I could increase the voltage a bit and then bump the core clock hier. However if I increase the voltage and run the benchmark at the same 950mhz, the game eventually locks up (no artifacts to be seen).
Is the voltage locked on the 560's?? Am I right to assume increasing the voltage is fine as long as the full load temperatures don't reach dangerous values? If so, why does 950mhz @ default voltage runs fine, but 950mhz @ increased voltage locks up?? The temps were similar in both cases.
